ORAL HISTORY
May and Horace Archie
Born in 1944, May Archie had a career with the telephone company. When she married Horace Archie in 2002, she joined his church, the New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, famous in Huntsville for running a barbecue restaurant. In 2004, the original operators, Mr. and Mrs. Ward, needed to step down from running the restaurant they had started as a fundraiser more than twenty-five years previously. After learning the secret recipes and practices, Mr. and Mrs. Archie took over the business and have run it ever since.
Two interviews, May and Horace Archie, are featured for this establishment.
